New Patients

Register as New Patient (Click this box to take you to our online registration form)

This Practice welcomes new patients who live within our practice area. Anyone in England can register with a GP surgery. It is free to register.

It is not a legal requirement to provide proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number but it might help if you have one or more of the following:

passport
birth certificate
HC2 certificate
Proof of address
rough sleepers' identity badge
hostel or accommodation registration or mail forwarding letter

If you're homeless, you can give a temporary address, such as a friend's address, a day centre or the GP surgery address. If you decide to register for online services we would need to check your details to confirm your identity before giving access to confidential patient information. A member of the reception team can provide further information if required.

Practice Area

In order to register with the practice you must live within the practice boundaries. If you move outside the practice boundary you must inform the surgery and register with a local doctor as soon as possible.

Our area covers the River Tees to the North, the A19 to the West, Brookfield, Acklam, the estates adjacent to Cargo Fleet Lane and Ormesby Bank, Marton, Nunthorpe, Coulby Newham, Hemlington and Stainton.

Temporary Patient Registrations

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
